Pumpkin Bottom Project Chukka Caribbean Adventures (CCA) and Hanover Charities hosted the 2008 charity polo match. JA$100,000,000.00 was handed over to Pumpkin Bottom Project. The money will be used to construct an after school care centre/homework centre. Pumpkin Bottom is an informal settlement located in the community of Sandy Bay in the parish of Hanover. The settlement comprises approximately 150 extended families ranging from (0 - 70yrs) of which 55% are within the age group of (0 - 16yrs). With minimal infrastructure in place for sustainable growth, it is very challenging for family members to gain meaningful employment. In addition, not many persons are employable as their literacy and numeracy skills are minimal.
Westhaven home for disabled and abandoned children Round Hill delivered 100 pillows and 200 pillow cases to the home in 2009.
WESTHAVEN & HANOVER PARISH LIBRARY 
(Above) Hanover Charities has assisted the WESTHAVEN HOME FOR DISABLED & ABUNDANT CHILDREN since its inception with an annual grant. The Westhaven Home is located in a rural area of Hanover about one hour driving from the busiest tourism center of Montego Bay, located along the North Coast. The McClusky family and their four boys (guests at Round Hill) collected t-shirts and HC was able to donate dozens of new outfits for the children at this home. They are in dire need of sanitary equipment, wheel chairs, diapers for adults, clothes, bed linens etc. (Above) Hanover Charities donated us$ 7000 to assist in setting up the "Children's Reading & Play Room" at the Hanover Parish Library in Lucea in 2005. Children use this facility after school and also weekly readings and storytelling session are organized by the librarian Ms. Stewart.
